Supports 4K video

Cinnamon is one of AudioQuest's more affordable HDMI cables, but it's made with premium materials throughout to maximize the crystal-clear picture and sound quality available from the latest high-definition digital sources. AudioQuest HDMI cables are designed to carry 100% of the data required for all of HDMI's current audio/video features including 1080p and 4K video, HDR, and multichannel high-resolution audio.

Silver-plated solid core conductors for better signal transfer

AudioQuest is known for their superior build quality, and their Cinnamon HDMI cables are no exception. They use high-purity copper, solid-core conductors plated with a very thin layer of silver. High-frequency HDMI audio and video signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductors. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. It's a cost-effective way to build a very high-performance HDMI cable.

Product Highlights:

supports HDMI version 1.4 and 2.0 features:

maximum bandwidth of 18 Gbps

1080p and 4K video @ 60p

bi-directional Ethernet communication with compatible components

audio return channel for sending Dolby® Digital sound from an HDTV back to an A/V receiver

What's in the Box:

Average Review:

Great cables. They are high quality cables. The overall video and audio quality seem to have improved compared to my old cables. Just make sure you follow the instillation directions because these cables are directional.

High Dynamic Range (HDR): High Dynamic Range (HDR)
reproduces a wider range of brightness levels than conventional video, which
brings a deeper contrast to the screen, greater color intensity without
being oversaturated, and incredible detail in low-light images. Watching
movies and TV shows mastered in HDR will give you a vivid new viewing
experience filled with brilliant color and dramatic contrast.

Ethernet Enabled: Provides high-speed networking to it
HDMI link, allowing you to take full advantage of your IP-enabled devices
without a separate Ethernet cable.

Note: AudioQuest HDMI cables over 8 meters (26' 3") are
only standard speed with support up to 1080p video (not 4K).

High Quality Construction: The AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI
cable features high quality construction to maximize video and audio
performance.

Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors: Solid conductors eliminate
strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors
are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio and video.
These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the
surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the
performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much
closer to solid copper cable.

Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Any solid material adjacent to a
conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit
board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then
released as distortion. Cinnamon HDMI uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene
Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss
and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it
causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

Directionality: All AQ HDMI cables are
directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of
metal conductors used in every AudioQuest HDMI cable. All signal conductors
controlled for digital-audio direction in AudioQuest HDMI cables, and care is
even taken to run the conductors used in the Audio Return Channel in the
opposite direction to ensure the best performance for that application. Arrows
are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.

[ WILLIAM Mar 07, 2017 ]

[ Bruce Feb 28, 2017 ]

I have the pearl cable made by Audioquest after reading about the cinnamon which is a upgrade I decided to go with this one hope for ever more of a improvement in my video/audio update after I receive and hook it up
[ M Oct 07, 2016 ]

For my audio and video system. I've been using Audio Quest for years! Even though they are expensive, I love them!
[ Booker Nov 19, 2017 ]

I am buying these with a new 4K TV and want to see if they make a difference. If so, I will consider replacing other HDMI cables with AudioQuest cables. They seem to be really well built.
[ James Nov 15, 2017 ]

Cables got great reviews and it was recommended by a friend.

[ LAURA Mar 02, 2017 ]

I already own one. I can't tell you if it's better than a cheaper cable but with all the money I have tied up in my AV system I'm not taking any chances! The one I already have seems to work great.
[ Chip Feb 26, 2017 ]

Probably should have gone with the Pearl, but as it's a present, couldn't resist the color.....

value
[ peter Nov 28, 2016 ]

I been using audioquest for years they are good high in cables.
[ Shedrick Nov 15, 2016 ]

The tech adviser strongly recommended that I needed to upgrade to the best hdmi chord (AudioQuest Cinnamon 2 meters/6.6 feet) they had available in order to fully enjoy the 4K experience that my Samsung un48js9000fxza curved TV offered. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable so I decided to trust his expertise.
[ carol Jul 15, 2016 ]

because of the quality
[ ROBERT A Apr 01, 2016 ]

high quality cable
[ Philip Mar 05, 2016 ]

Excellent value for the money. This cable delivers the best performance for the dollar spent. You can buy more expensive cables, but the difference in performance is incrementally better. Save your money.
[ Jesse Feb 25, 2016 ]

I plan on upgrading my current 4k 65" Samsung to a 78" SUHD later this year and thought I would upgrade from my current Pearl cables to the Cinnamon. So every month or so I'll buy another Cinnamon until I have the four I need. Spread the cost out a bit! Maybe they make a difference, maybe they don't, we'll see in the Summer or Fall when I order the TV.

4 questions already asked

AudioQuest website does not appear to address that spec. If you're asking for gaming purposes, I found a link seems to answer the question as "possibly". Can't post the link here, but it's not vendor or marketing based, technical only. It showed when I goggled your question. Rhymes with LamersLexus...
[ Roger Apr 03, 2018 ]

The specs state that it supports 1080p/120Hz, 4K, and 3D video. I have had no problems with my UHD and 3D devices.
[ ROBERT Apr 03, 2018 ]

Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget.
